Ganville Street forms the heart of the entertainment district in Vancouver, BC, Canada. In 1950’s it was world famous as a neon ‘Great White Way.’ Much of the old neon is now gone, but some of the original signs can still be seen. A recent renovation of the street for the 2010 Winter Olymics, installed the vertical LED street lighting in an attempt to recapture the historic neon glory. This view looks north east and on a clearer day, you would be able to see Vancouver’s North Shore mountains between the buildings at the end of the street.
